It’s been an ill start of 2012 for me. Was hit with cough, cold, fever, flu, sinus… you name it. Everything under the sun.<\/p>\n

There were loads of tissues, medicines, soups and pain killers.<\/p>\n

Lord mercy.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the refrigerator had a fair share of produce — on the verge of rotting. Though the cold left me drained for days, I knew baking would instantenously cheer me up — and my innards from inhaling those fumes.<\/p>\n

If you have a cold, start a fire… or in my case, bake up a storm.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So I did what anyone would have done with a couple of fairly bruised pears — baked a loaf<\/strong>. It’s better than being aloof<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Admittedly, with cracks and slightly chewy edges, I love the rustic-ness<\/em> of this loaf. After all, isn’t winter poking fun at us this time of the year? Looks aren’t as important as the taste. Especially for someone as ill as me. With soups making endless appearance, I am thankful for a few bites of this deliciously moist loaf.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I went a little overboard with this recipe — had to drizzle on some love! Whisk away a simple glaze made with powdered sugar + lemon juice and drizzle as much as possible. It would make your heart sing a lullaby.<\/p>\n

Well, mine did. Don’t judge the “under-the-weather” baker. Miracles can happen, ya know.
